Hi dori,

Great topic!

I am at last free of thinking I caused it, I could control it, and I could change it. Thanks to these pages.

If nothing changes nothing changes....I'm free of the old vision..........

Also I've been dieting.....lost a bit of weight............free of that too!

thanks Dori!

Just this weekend I have been able to free myself from some old resentments and allow some relationships to beging to recover.

I am free of not doing what I wanted to do because I was afraid (knew) he would drink while I was gone.

Thanks for the topic! You sound wonderful and positive.

I am beginning to be free from worry, about what A is doing, where he is, if he is drinking or not. This is a challenge but it is progressing, and becoming freeing!

I, also, am losing some weight too! Freedom from my fat!!! LOL!!!!

Have a nice Fourth, everyone! Love, HeidiXXX

Hi, Dori...Happy Independence Day...for me independence day was April 3, 2003. That was the day I left my A. When I returned, it was with a set boundary of "it's the booze or me". Though there have been so many other problems, I no longer live with the booze...just the disease. My theme song I played on the trip leaving him was "Independence Day" and "Broken Wing", both by Martina McBride.

For these 2 weeks, I'm free of him....so I'm so grateful.

Good luck to ya....you sound good,

(((((((((((((((dori))))))))))))))))))
